Fair
Built in 1912, this multi-unit property shows a mixed level of renovation. While some units feature modern updates like white shaker cabinetry, granite/dark countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and contemporary bathrooms with stand-alone showers, other units present more basic finishes, older white appliances, and dated light fixtures. The property is generally well-maintained, with good flooring throughout, but the significant age of the building (1912) suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely outdated or nearing the end of their lifespan, as indicated by the 'Age-Related Maintenance & System Concerns' weakness. It is functional and livable, but the inconsistency of updates across units and the inherent age-related concerns prevent it from being classified as 'Good' or 'Excellent'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Prime Inner Sunset Location: Situated in San Francisco's highly desirable Inner Sunset neighborhood, offering strong rental demand and potential for appreciation.
Diversified Income Stream: A mixed-use property comprising five units (four residential, one ground-floor commercial), providing multiple revenue sources and reduced vacancy risk.
Valuable On-Site Parking: The inclusion of parking is a significant and highly sought-after amenity in a dense urban environment like San Francisco.
Historic Charm with Updated Interiors: Showcases timeless 1912 architectural character (stucco facade, bay windows) complemented by desirable modern interior finishes (hardwood, granite, shaker cabinetry).
Access to Top-Rated Schools: Located within proximity to several highly-rated public schools, enhancing its appeal to families.
Cons
Substantial Price Drop from Previous Sale: The current list price is significantly lower than its 2018 sale price ($3.05M vs $2.175M), which may signal underlying property issues, deferred maintenance, or a challenging market valuation.
Age-Related Maintenance & System Concerns: As a 1912-built property, it likely requires ongoing and potentially significant capital expenditures for major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof, foundation) that are not explicitly detailed as recently upgraded.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: The large building footprint (6,696 sqft) relative to the lot size (3,323 sqft) suggests minimal private outdoor areas for tenants, which could be a disadvantage for some renters or owner-occupants.
